"Few could read this book without being simultaneously convicted and encouraged in our evangelistic task."Dr. Reuben Bredenhof, Professor of Ministry and Mission, Canadian Reformed Theological Seminary"Sadly, the practice of personal evangelism is sometimes understood today as entirely the duty of 'professional' Christians, pastors, elders, seminary professors, missionaries, evangelists, and the like. But as Dr. Najapfour contends, sharing the gospel is an essential part of the Christian life and therefore the responsibility of every Christian."Dr. John W. Tweeddale, Vice President of Academics, Reformation Bible College, Florida

In Contending for the Faith, Joel Beeke and William Boekestein help children understand the struggle for reformation in England and how the Westminster Assembly sought to further the Reformation in that land. In this book, children will learn about the five documents that became key standards of Presbyterianism: the Form of Church Government, the Directory of Public Worship, the Confession of Faith, the Larger Catechism, and the Shorter Catechism. Although these reforms did not find a lasting place within the Church of England, they have remained formative for Presbyterian and Reformed congregations around the world.

There is a particular pressing question that seems to permeate the whole of Charnock's works: If the greatest or highest degree of excellence is found in this imitable perfection of God, this conformity to holiness, then what does this conformity look like in the soul that has been regenerated? This book undertakes a detailed analysis of the various components of Charnock's doctrine of regeneration, more specifically, the continuity in his thought working out the reality that is contained within the highest degree of excellence that is found in the imitable perfection of God. Charnock brings the whole of that image of God renewed in the soul under the microscope of Scripture to reveal the details found in the conformity to that vital principle, holiness.
